Who Am I?

I have spent the last month or so wording just what I want to say on this blog.  I have been through hell and back in the last 7 months, so it should be a doozy, right?  Mostly, I want to let those of you who have followed to know just where I've been and where I am today.

Today, I know that I am a daughter of the King.  Yeah, that's a big one.  I know I am loved.  I know that I am worthy.  And I am humbled that because of me, Jesus died on the Cross to tell me that He loves me.  Loves ME!!  That's pretty hard to take, quite honestly.  I certainly don't feel worthy of that, but, given that it's a gift -- I'll take it.  I know I haven't earned it, but I'll take it.  Because that, THAT, is what I hold on to.  Knowing that a King loved ME enough to DIE for me.  That's humbling, loving and so perfect that how could I refuse it??

I know that I am a useful, productive human being.

I know that I am a great WIFE -- a supporter, an encourager, and a lover of someone who wakes up in the morning because I am HIS wife -- because I love HIM and because he wants to get up in the morning and see what HE can do for ME today.  I am so blessed to be HIS wife!!

I know that I am a pretty awesome MOM.  My kids will all roll their eyes and shake their heads, but at the end of the day - they love ME!!  That makes me smile - in spite of all the world throws at me.

I know that I could be a GREAT daughter -- if I was given the chance.  Things have happened to prevent that, but in my heart of hearts, I know that God has shown through my imperfect human parts to make that perfectly clear, if they were looking.

I am a GREAT friend.  I try to be there for them and do what needs to be done.

All in all, God has given me many gifts and blessings.  Somedays it is so hard to see beyond what the evil one puts in my path and demands that I focus on . . . but once I can get passed that, God is faithful and just.  He is there to show me and to give me what I so desperately needed.  

Again, I am a Daughter of the King.  And I am striving every day to be Who and What He demands of me.  Am I perfect?  Hahaha, not by a long shot.  But I am forgiven and I am given the opportunity to strive towards what He wants me to be!!  

God Bless Who YOU Are today!!
